“……..”

The crowd becomes silent of a sudden, they could hear a cough of one person from the corner of the magic arena because of the silence.

“So you’re Ren, the one that master Kyron considered as his successor,” The supreme general said while his eyes are observing Oz from his toe until his head with a sharp gaze.

(Successor?) (Oz)

“Yes, I am Ren, but I’m not sure about the last part you just said. Can you please explain it to me, your honor supreme general,” Oz said while bowing a little with his brows furrowed.

Not only the supreme general, but Oz also observes the supreme general to his very tiny detail.

(He’s at his 40s, his arms show that he didn’t train only his mana cultivation, but he also tempers his body to this extent. His way of holding the sword felt very natural, he’s familiar with the sword he’s using, and he’s skilled at swordsmanship…) (Oz)

(And the last thing, he’s at the bottleneck of the sword saint rank, without my qi, this won’t be easy, I’ll need to half-equip some of my cards) (Oz)

“But before that… Appraisal…” Oz muttered softly.

[???????

(The f*%$!? Why does all human I tried to appraise always hide their status?) (Oz)

The supreme general stares at the silent Oz strangely.

(I don’t have much time, I’ll just half-equip the goblin [King[ card first, and judge his powers my-) (Oz)

Before Oz finished his thoughts, the supreme general on his sight suddenly disappeared.

(Tsk! Goblin [King] card! Half-equip!!!) (Oz)

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

A very loud sound of an explosion sounded.

“Hm? (Supreme General)

“””Whoa!!!”””

The spectators leaked out a sound of surprise when they saw the sight that happened in front of them.

The supreme general formed a small grin at his face.

“You’re pretty good, kid. Who’ll ever though a magician will evade my strike in such a way,” (Supreme General)

When the supreme general struck from Oz’s side, Oz half-equipped the goblin [King] card and evade the strike by a hair’s breadth. He can’t use any other [King] rank card because if he used the demon [King] card, there is a risk that the demonic mana could be sensed from him, and if he used the lich [King] card, there is a risk that the mana of death could be sensed from him.

But the boost from the Goblin [King] card alone won’t enough, he barely could evade the supreme general’s strike, but Oz’s sure that even though the supreme general haven’t used his full power, he will lose his life if he got hit by that strike earlier, even if he already half-equipped the goblin [King] card. Because half-equipping a card only gives 25% of the card’s real power.

(I could only equip all other cards except the demon [King] and the lich [King], but it’s still better than nothing) (Oz)

Oz half-equipped all of the cards he possessed, and he could feel a tremendous power filling his body.

(This should be enough) (Oz)

“Interesting… Your cultivation rank is only at the master swordsman rank, it’s remarkable for you to be able to evade my strike, but one thing you should know. You commoners will never defeat us, nobles,” The supreme general arrogantly said.

(Old guy, it’s time to pay you back for trying to kill me) (Oz)

!!!???

The spectator got shocked once more, Oz’s figure suddenly disappeared just like how the supreme general’s figure suddenly disappeared before.

Boom!!!!!

Another sound of an explosion sounded. But this time, the spectators are more shocked than before, and even the magic academy magic god headmaster, Oxius, and the queen, also shocked by the sight they saw.

Oz appeared from the supreme general’s back and slammed his staff to the supreme general’s body, sending the supreme general flying about 200 meters away.

“Great job, Ren!!!!!!” (Albus)

The spectators started to cheer together with Albus’s huge voice. But only some people and Oz knew what actually happened.

When Oz strikes the supreme general, in a split second, he managed to block Oz’s staff. And the supreme general’s face.

(He’s smiling…) (Oz)n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When the clouds of dust started to fade away, the unscathed figure of the supreme general finally reappeared.

(As expected, he’s unscathed) (Oz)

“What a great power you have there, kid,” Together with the supreme general’s grin, a killing intent that shakes all of the spectators enveloped the magic arena.

“But it’s still not enough,” (Supreme general)

Only several people could withstand the terrifying murderous intent of the supreme general of the Grandaria kingdom. But the murderous intent doesn’t pique Oz’s fear, but it made him feel challenged.

Oz’s smirked.

!!!???

A terrifying murderous intent, that even much darker and scarier than the supreme general’s murderous intent gushed out from Oz’s body. The spectators felt more pressure because of the battle of murderous intent between the supreme general and Oz.

The magic god, Oxius, slammed his staff to the ground, and an invisible barrier suddenly enveloped the arena battleground, blocking the murderous intent from pressuring the spectators.

The supreme general finally shows a surprised expression when Oz unleashes his bloodlust, making Oz’s smirks wider.

“Hmph! Don’t get too cocky, you peasant brat!” The supreme general unleashed his full power and disappear once more, but the Oz that already got boosted by half-equipping a lot of his cards foresee the supreme general’s strike and blocked it.

Boom!!!

The supreme general’s sword and Oz’s defiler of the banished, Ataraxia staff collided, and send a powerful wave of winds to the spectators.

(Ugh, he’s strong!) (Oz)

But Oz won’t let any opportunity miss, Oz who addresses himself as a magician purposely blocked the strike with his staff, and pointed his left index finger at the supreme general.

(Let’s try the magics I learn!) (Oz)

“Summon fire snake,” Following Oz’s words, a huge burning snake came out from his finger and dashed to the supreme general with terrifying speed.

The supreme general tried to evade the burning snake, but who would think that when the supreme general tried to dock to his left, the burning snake turns its course and hit the supreme general and blasted him away 50 meters backward.

“Ugh!” (Supreme General)

“Supreme General!!!” All other generals stand when they saw their supreme general got hit by the spell.

(Hmph! Even though a spell chanted by a master swordsman rank or a master magician rank is not that powerful, but the spell ‘summon fire snake’ is one of the evilest spells that give the damage to the victim according to how much his strength is!) (Oz)

The spectators cheered seeing the great fight, it’s all happen in a split second, but they could still feel the excitement from watching a high-leveled battle.

Usually, a person who could use his mana for both body strengthening and magic using at the same time is very rare, they are called the dual-cultivator. The spectator is excited to see such rare talent battles.

“I see… So your staff is not only for show, huh. You’re really are a dual-cultivator, not bad for a peasant,” The supreme general that finally got some damage said with a calm expression.

Oz didn’t answer the supreme general’s comment, rather, he continued his attack.

“Summon a fire wolf,” (Oz)

A wolf with fire enveloping its whole body suddenly appeared in front of Oz, and dashes to the supreme general at a high speed. But different from before, the supreme general seems to be more collected and had become even more serious about the battle.

It will be strange if Oz could use all the magic elements, so Oz decided to only use the fire magics at the battle.

(It should be enough) (Oz)

The supreme general cut off the fire wolf with a great force, but rather than disappearing, the fire wolf explodes. Even though the explosion didn’t hurt the supreme general, it gives Oz another opening to attack.

“H-he’s gone!” (Supreme General)

Oz suddenly disappeared from his sight and the supreme general suddenly sensed a presence from above of him, but when he prepared to block Oz’s strike with his swords, Oz’s attack is way out of the supreme general’s prediction.

“Phoenix Blast!!!” Oz strikes with his staff and cast the spell at his staff, causing an unimaginable strike to the supreme general.

Boom!!!!!!

The supreme general’s sword managed to block Oz’s staff, but Oz’s ‘Phoenix Blast’ spell managed to breakthrough the supreme general’s defense, forcing his body to withstand the spell directly.

But Oz’s attacks didn’t stop right there, the supreme general is still paralyzed because of taking the Phoenix Blast directly to his body, Oz took that chance and swing his staff aiming at the arrogant supreme general’s head with his full power.

but.

Whoosh!!!

Several figures disturbed the fight, but the final sight makes the spectators gasped.

The other four great generals dashed to save the general and aim at Oz’s head, but unfortunately for them, Oz also had some sword saints back up.

Oz’s staff stopped in front of the supreme general’s face, while a spear, two swords, and one staff aiming at Oz’s head. But behind the great generals, Albus’s staff aimed at the ‘Sorcerer, Esmeralda Stivania’, Peter’s sword aimed at ‘The master of swords, Bruce Tellen’, Alfred’s and Edreale’s knife aimed at the ‘Valkyrie, Emily Beller’, and Sen’s sword aimed at the ‘Bloody Spear, Edward Egen’.

The atmosphere suddenly got heavy. The spectators become silent once more, seeing several sword saints in one arena together. But suddenly, a voice cut in.

“Enough!” (???)
